I used a pipe wrench when I did mine -- it worked fine. Infact, I used a second pipe wrench to hold the tube.
I completely removed the assembly from the car and set it in a vice before removing the spring. (it only requires that you remove the ball joint and brake caliper) When I'm working in tight spots or hunched over, I tend to rush -- and I don't want to rush when I'm working with a compressed spring. I dodged a bullet (or should I say spring) once, and I'd prefer not to repeat it.
